Project description:Plant compensatory responses depends on transcriptional reprogramming. We used microarray analysis to understand the differential gene expression pattern between clipped (herbivore browsed) and unclipped plant. Arabidopsis ecotypes Columbia and Landsberg erecta were chosen due to their differential compensatory response. The plants were grown in greenhouse. At bolting stage the plants were clipped to imitate herbivore damage. Following day the samples were collected from clipped and unclipped plants.

Project description:Predicting how climate change affects biotic interactions and their evolution poses a challenge. Plant-insect herbivore interactions are particularly sensitive to climate change, as climate-induced changes in plant quality cascade into the performance of insect herbivores. Whereas the immediate survival of herbivore individuals depends on plastic responses to climate change induced nutritional stress, long-term population persistence via evolutionary adaptation requires genetic variation for these responses. In order to assess the prospects for population persistence under climate change, it is therefore crucial to characterise response mechanisms to climate change induced stressors, and quantify their variability in natural populations. Here, we test developmental and transcriptomic responses to water limitation induced host plant quality change in a Glanville fritillary butterfly (Melitaea cinxia) metapopulation. We combine nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy on the plant metabolome, larval developmental assays and an RNA seq analysis of the larval transcriptome. We observed that responses to feeding on water limited plants, in which amino acids and aromatic compounds are enriched, showed marked intrapopulation variation, with individuals of some families performing better on control and others on water limited plants. The transcriptomic responses were concordant with the developmental responses: Families exhibiting opposite developmental responses also produced opposite transcriptomic responses, e.g. in growth associated intracellular signalling. The opposite developmental and transcriptomic responses are associated with between families differences in organic compound catabolism and storage protein production. The results reveal heritable intrapopulation variability in plasticity, suggesting potential for evolutionary responses to drought-induced changes in host plant quality in the Finnish M. cinxia metapopulation.

Project description:The role of plant-derived food sources in plant-herbivore-carnivore interactions is an essential topic in basic ecology, and it is directly linked to the applied discipline of biological pest control. Honeydew, which phloem-feeding hemipteran insects excrete, constitutes a rich source of carbohydrates and proteins for beneficial insects in ecosystems. However, the quality of this plant-derived food source depends on its composition. Here we demonstrated that plant proteins in honeydew increase the fitness of a parasitic wasp (member of the third-trophic level).

Project description:DICER-like proteins produce small RNAs that silence genes involved in development and defenses against viruses and pathogens. Which DCLs participate in plant-herbivore interactions remains unstudied. We identified four distinct DCL genes and stably silenced their expression by RNAi in Nicotiana attenuata, a model system for the study of plant-herbivore interactions. Silencing DCL1 expression was lethal to the plants. Manduca sexta larvae performed significantly better on ir-dcl3and ir-dcl4 plants, but not on ir-dcl2 plants compared to wild type plants. Phytohormones, defense metabolites and microarray analyses revealed that when DCL3 and DCL4 were silenced separately, herbivore resistance traits were regulated in distinctly different ways. Crossing of the lines revealed complex interactions in the patterns of regulation. Single ir-dcl4 and double ir-dcl2/ ir-dcl3 plants were impaired in JA accumulation, while JA-Ile was increased in ir-dcl3 plants. Ir-dcl3 and ir-dcl4 plants were impaired in nicotine accumulation; silencing DCL2 in combination with either DCL3 or DCL4 restored nicotine levels to those of WT. Trypsin proteinase inhibitor activity and transcripts were only silenced in ir-dcl3 plants. We conclude that DCL2/3/4 interact in a complex manner to regulate anti-herbivore defenses and that these interactions significantly complicate the already challenging task of understanding smRNA function in the regulation of biotic interactions.

Project description:Trichoderma spp. are versatile opportunistic plant symbionts which can colonize the apoplast of plant roots. Microarrays analysis of Arabidopsis thaliana roots inoculated with Trichoderma asperelloides T203, coupled with qPCR analysis of 137 stress-responsive genes and transcription factors, revealed wide gene transcript reprogramming, preceded by a transient repression of the plant immune responses supposedly to allow root colonization. Enhancement in the expression of WRKY18 and 40, which stimulate JA-signaling via suppression of JAZ repressors and negative-regulate the expression of the defense genes FMO1, PAD3 and CYP71A13, was detected in Arabidopsis roots upon Trichoderma colonization. Reduced root colonization was observed in the wrky18/wrky40 double mutant line, while partial phenotypic complementation was achieved by over-expressing WRKY40 in the wrky18 wrky40 background. On the other hand, an increased colonization rate was found in roots of the FMO1 knockout mutant. Two-condition experiment: Roots treated with Trichoderma vs. Control untreated roots. Biological replicates: 2 control replicates, 2 treated replicates. 1 dye-swap.

Gene expression in leaves of Nicotiana attenuata wild type, irDCL3 and irDCL4 plants was measured at 1 hour after elicitation with oral secretions of Manduca sexta larvae. Three independent experiments were performed with wild type plants and three independent experiments were performed with irDCL3 and irDCL4 plants. A total of 811 genes were identified as differentially regulated in irDCL3 and irDCL4 compared to wild type plants.

Project description:Leaves are colonised by a complex mix of microbes, termed the leaf microbiota. Even though the leaf microbiota is increasingly recognised as an integral part of plant life and health, our understanding of its interactions with the plant host is still limited. Here, mature, axenically grown Arabidopsis thaliana plants were spray-inoculated with different densities of the non-pathogenic bacterium Williamsia sp. Leaf354. High bacterial titers caused disease phenotypes and led to severe transcriptional reprogramming with a strong focus on plant defence.
